Competitive Pricing Strategy

The Cadillac Optiq enters the market with a starting price of $59,990, which drops to $52,490 after applying the federal EV credit. For those seeking top-tier features, the highest trim level is priced at $72,390, or $64,890 post-credit.

The Optiq measures 190 inches in length, slightly longer than Tesla’s Model Y at 187 inches. It also outweighs its competitor, with a curb weight of 5,192 lbs compared to the Model Y’s 4,363 lbs.

Luxury and Technology

Inside, the Optiq showcases luxury with a 33-inch diagonal LED display and a 19-speaker sound system featuring Dolby Atmos. The vehicle’s ambient lighting system offers 126 color options across two zones, enhancing the interior atmosphere.

Advanced Driver Assistance

GM has included its “Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance” technology in the Optiq, signaling a push towards more autonomous driving features in their EV lineup.

This move aligns with the broader industry trend towards premium electric vehicles, as we’ve seen with recent launches from other manufacturers. The Optiq’s competitive pricing and feature set could potentially challenge established players in the market.
